from the bacon-is-natural dept.

Scientists are currently cultivating a marine plant that's packed with more nutrients than the trendy green superfood kale. And it naturally tastes like bacon.

Bacon-flavored crackers. Bacon-flavored salad dressing. These are just two of the savory treats that have been created so far using the domesticated strain of dulse (Palmaria palmata), a kind of red algae, or seaweed, that typically grows in the waters along northern Pacific and Atlantic coastlines.

I wonder if this will pass muster with my kosher- and halal-observing friends.

    The actual prohibition was for boiling a young goat in its mother's milk: http://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/14-21.htm [biblehub.com]
    Thus prohibiting a practice which does sound a bit twisted (or sadistic if you're boiling the young goat alive).

    But it doesn't actually prohibit eating a cheese burger or a meat pizza.

    Firstly the milk is unlikely to come from the mother of the meat involved. Secondly even if it were you're not actually boiling the animal in its mother's milk. Thirdly it ain't a young goat ;).

    If the additional requirements added on by others seem ridiculous maybe its because they are ridiculous and shouldn't be followed.
